Keith reminds us we are still sharing the trails with grizzly bears and says it took a few moments for this young grizzly to decide to yield the trail!

This Rough-legged Hawk, Ruth Quist reports, did not yield the sky, though . . .

In our parting shot, Norma Linsky shows us a late-afternoon full moon over New Hampshire!
